You don’t understand, no-one does. When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you’re expected move again only you don’t remember what moves you because no-one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never in your life think that love like this can happen to you. -Francesca, Bridges of Madison County

I called my girlfriend on her cell phone last night. I knew she wasn’t home from Cancun yet, but I had to whine.
After her chirpy voicemail message, “‘Cita…” (By the way, you have to read this in the most horrible whiney voice EVER, ” ‘Cita, I know you’re not home. I know. I know. I know. I need you to be home. I need you to pick up your phone. I’m going crazy. CRA-HAY-HAY-HAY..ZEEEEE.”

She called me this morning. “You okay?”

*the sound of angels singing in harmony*

I burst into tears. “nooooooooooooo.” The sound of my sniffling back the post crying snot probably made her feel so much better to come back home. Home to the crazy.

“Bingo?”

SNIFF. “yeah.” Sniffle.

Now if there were just a way that I could get Shaun to come home early so I can leave by 5 pm.
If there were just a way….
